"Those treacherous grain merchants, when they heard that the locust plague was very big, wanted to sell food. But they all knew that Dou Gui, the governor of Yizhou, was a master who could not rub the sand in his eyes.

If they really did this, they would definitely be taken away by Dou Lu for hoarding and killed by random knives, and by the way, they could confiscate all their property, including these foods.

So they thought of a trick to put less rice and wheat in the form of fine grains, and sell more beans that are difficult to sell, so that they can take out food every day and support the people behind them. Dou Zhi dared not be too embarrassed for them.

Outsiders like us don’t have strong feet in Yizhou, so they naturally rarely sell us fine grains and pick up these beans that cannot be eaten to fool things up." The hunter uncle said in a bit angrily.

"But you have explained to Shi Tou again, even if it is beans, I think it will be a good food even if it is used to feed livestock.

If you really encounter a deserted year, you won’t have to worry about starving to death with these beans. So I pulled back as much as possible, taking advantage of the price of food, it was not very expensive.

But after all, our transportation capacity is limited, and you have booked it early in the morning. The dried locusts and locust powder are not worth much, it just takes up too much space.

Speaking of which, we didn’t spend much money to buy locusts this time, but together with the Chang'an merchants who collected locusts for us, we were rewarded with a plaque of "Good Family" today, rewarding us for helping to control locust plagues.

It seems that it is useless to us when I take this thing back, so I just put it on Old Man Yang and asked him to put it in the caravan main store to keep the house." After the hunter said that, his face also smiled.

Listen, the money for buying locusts has become small money in the mouth of the hunter. It can be seen that the caravan's efficiency is definitely good enough to have the confidence to ignore this money.

In the past, I wanted to spend eight and a half dollars on this money, and I definitely didn’t have the courage to do it.

"It's just that so many beans, I always think it's a troublesome thing. If you give them all to the merchants, they can curse themselves, and our merchants will become stenchy and it's a problem to breathe.

It’s been so difficult for the farm to make it so clean that you can’t let these beans be ruined. Shi Tou, you have many ideas, do you have any good ideas?”

Beans are a good thing, with high protein content and rich nutrition, but if people eat too much of this thing, it is a problem to just fart and poop.

So if you simply eat beans as staple food, it won’t take long to cover the entire farm with biogas, and it will definitely be surrounded by various fart sounds, which will definitely be stenchless. However, everything has two sides.

"In fact, there are many ways to consume beans. Eating food is definitely the slowest and the most undesirable.

Since I asked you to pull so many beans back, I must have thought of a solution long ago." Shi Lei said calmly.

"Is this the first way? Do you still have the impression of the dumplings you ate this afternoon? Is it fragrant?" Shi Lei asked several uncles.

Seeing that the uncles nodded seriously and said that they were delicious, Shi Lei continued to speak down with satisfaction.

"That thing is bean sprouts. The sprouts grown with these soybeans are very fragrant whether they are cold, fried or fried. They will not take a long time to grow a lot, and only a little water is needed. Moreover, eating this thing can help digestion, and eating too much will not cause any problems with beans. I will hand over this method of growing bean sprouts to the merchants in the future, so that it is like planting mushrooms, and you can add an input to them." Shi Lei said with a chuckling.

"Tomorrow I will make a sprout meal for you to try, and I will do all kinds of ways to eat it.

By the way, there are also various ways to make beans. Tomorrow, the whole bean banquet will be just a whole bean banquet." Shi Lei slapped his palm and decided that way.

"In addition, the fastest way to consume beans is of course to squeeze oil. The soybean oil tastes pretty good, and the remaining bean cakes can also be used to feed livestock, especially pigs, and it is still very fast to gain weight.

Well, we can build an oil shop in the future. It is also good to eat takeout oil. While making money, we can also consume more beans." Shi Lei was still measuring the location of the oil shop in his mind.

"This is a good idea." Several uncles agreed with the oil mill very much.

"There is another one I like the most. We open a mill and squeeze all the beans into soy milk. If you want to drink sweet sips, you can add some sugar. If you want to drink salty sips, you can add some salt. If you want to drink one bowl, you can pour one bowl. It's so willful." Shi Lei said excitedly.

However, the three uncles definitely don't think so. If they hadn't known that he was just saying it was happy, they would have to beat him up as a loser. Being rich would not be a waste.

"I can't drink this soy milk. We can make tofu, and you can order lime water or salt. If you make it thin, it's tofu, and if you make it dry, it's dried tofu, it's all delicious. Hehe.

Even if it smells bad, it can turn into stinky tofu or fermented bean curd. In short, it will be very good no matter how you eat it.

Let's make some leek flowers to cooperate, think about it not being too delicious." Shi Lei was completely immersed in his imagination, and the three uncles looked at him helplessly.

But it sounds like this plan is quite feasible. The tofu shop is the big one that consumes beans when it is opened.

"Where, I have designed the tofu shop that uses hydraulic grinding beans. I can build a by the river to try the effect.

However, this is indispensable. Uncle Blacksmith needs to be busy. Some key parts need to be built with star iron.

That thing is wear-resistant and can be used for a long time." Shi Lei handed the design drawing of the hydraulic mill that he had been thinking about during this period to several uncles.

"So you have prepared for the stone." The hunter uncle nodded and said, no wonder he was able to pull so many beans back.

"Well, this thing has been marked very clearly. It should be built quickly. Find more people to do it together. It will take only a few days to get it done."

After carefully studying the design drawing given by Shi Lei, several uncles discussed it in a low voice and quickly assigned the task.

"That means that the Douzi problem has been basically solved, at least there is a direction, right?

As for those dried locust powder, I have long had an idea. Locusts can be fried and eaten, or fed to chickens and ducks at home, so that they can grow stronger and the raw eggs will taste better.

Locust powder can be put into the marching dry food I made to replace meat powder. The meat powder is very troublesome and easy to deteriorate, and is not as nutritious as this locust powder.

Of course, this locust powder is also very good for feeding livestock. It grows quickly and is easy to gain weight." Shi Lei asked for this locust just to use it as protein powder.

For high-intensity training and marching teams, the amount of protein in the food is not enough. It is best to have such animal protein so that they will not drag down their bodies.

But many times, there is no such condition to let them stop and eat meat hard, so that the rich enough marching food will come in handy. Even if you eat too much, you may want to vomit when you smell it.
